POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Tapes, Laminates & Panels Polystrand™ high performance composite tapes and laminates are made by combining thermoplastic polymers and continuous fibers to create continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites. Polystrand composite panels are made with continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets thermally bonded or adhered to traditional core materials such as honeycomb, foam, aluminum, and nonwovens as reinforcement. Standard and custom tapes, laminates, and panels are available in a variety of combinations of matrix resin systems including PP, PE, PETG, aPET, and PA6, and include fiber reinforcements such as E-Glass and S-Glass.
